I'm reading that Israel has only mobilized 5-10% of its forces against Hezbollah?

You attack the Hez-ebolas with all your might and Egypt would roll in from the flank.

Israel claims that it can mobilize over 600,000 troops, mostly reserves, within 48 hours.

Mobilizations are extrodinarily costly from an economic perspective. A call up of 50,000 would be equivalent of calling up 2.5 million in the US. That said, they seem to have adequate forces to do the task at hand, which is limited.
